Helestios is a metal band with international members from Latvia, Greece, the UK, and Poland, all based in Hampshire, UK. Formed in early 2020 by singer/guitarist Henrijs Leja and guitarist Stylianos Angelis, the band recorded and released their first critically acclaimed album, "Your Pain Tastes Good," in late 2020 with drummer Ian Den Boer and bassist Agnis Aldins, to critical acclaim from Australia, across Europe, the US, and South America. With Ian in Holland and Agnis in Latvia, it was logistically difficult to play gigs, so after a few lineup changes and demos written for the second album (with Piotr Daniel and Sam Calloway), the lineup was changed again... Helestios have added drummer Rob Leech and bassist Przemek Tazmano Kepinski to the band, which has already been compared to metal giants such as Amon Amarth, Nevermore, and Opeth. With one album under their belt and a handful of gigs and festivals across the UK under their belts, the band is stronger than ever and is gearing up for the release of their second album, "Road to Ecstasy," in May of this year. "Road to Ecstasy" will also feature the single "Fight."

Support Dravens Tales from the Crypt

Dravan flag NEW square 300 2"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.

My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever ;) I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.

It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
